    Quenching steel at a fast cooling rate results in a martensitic microstructure that is hard, strong but brittle with a small grain size. Slow cooling steel allows time for ferrite, pearlite and cementite to form giving a softer microstructure that is weaker but more ductile with a larger grain size. The document discusses the effects of cooling rate on the microstructure and properties of steel.
